My first 300mg cycle

[Cuz]

Yeah I have heard people with this same experience. On TRT doses they walk around with assertiveness and feel more confident about their day. Grad school is stressful, but I am good at tolerating stress. I have always been overloaded with activities and I like that, but I have had the slight concern with gear and the overload of school. School is a big priority since I only have one year left, but I am very big on investing in myself and taking time for myself despite how intense things get. In regards to money, I am making an abundance this summer while I am off of school so that is why I am looking so much into it now and was willing to drop around $700-$800 on a cycle if that is what it needed. Plus working for a D1 University and their athletics department the idea of ballooning up may be a bit concerning, but I am an adult who isn't affiliated with the NCAA so as long as I don't advertise my use or suggest it to others I do not see that being an issue.

Whats your opinion on smoking cannabis in that how does it effect your fitness lifestyle?

Dude, buying the gear is the cheap part of cycling. The bloodwork and mostly the food is where the bulk of your money goes.

Ain't that the truth. My food bill is off the charts.

Cannabis does not bother me when it comes to my everyday life. It may dampen my senses a bit, but overall I do not have a negative effect from it. I personally have an issue with my mind going on 1000 at all times. When I consume cannabis it allows me to slow down and calm down. In regards to lifting I use it to help focus and fully get into the workout. It helps me block out everything around me and fully engage into my lifts. Some tasks I am capable of performing high, some have a fine line of how high I can be and some activities I know not to use if I want to be at my best. Most of the time if I am not using, I feel out of the ordinary and a bit weird. I will admit I have become a bit dependent to it, but it is all about knowing your personal limits and how you react to it.

I make sure to have enough for my food. Food is crazy expensive and it all adds up, but I ensure I have enough to eat properly.

It wouldn't hurt to get yourself a Costco or Sam's Club card. And get several different grocery store apps on your phone. Most stores set their "deals" and prices for the week on Tuesday. You see a good price for chicken or beef, buy as much as you can afford. And get a vacuum sealer.

Yeah I would love a Costco or Sams, but there isn't one near me. When it comes to the apps I use them intensely haha. I often shop on the app before I go to ensure I get the best deals and fit my budget. Why the vacuum sealer though, is it for long term storage?

Yeah it's storage. Like if let's say you see Ribeyes on sale for $6.99 per lb. You might want to load up the freezer on them.

THis was the best $$$ I ever spent:

^^^ This is a pretty sweet deal. I'm shocked at how cheap you can get a freezer for these days.

It is and they are way cheaper than 20 or 30 years ago.

I ran across an upright freezer from a neighbor 10 years ago. Got it for 100 bucks. Still running good, but if or when it craps out, I've gotten my moneys worth.

But the food vacuum is also a must have! If you buy meat in bulk, you have to have one.

[Scorpion0922]

And I only spent $200 on mine (that same size as the link)

I suppose prices have gone up since then.

My girlfriend saw some cooking video on making their steaks "sous vide" and so now she's wanting to try it. I guess if you boil the steaks while they're inside those vacuum bags, they get cooked perfectly every time and all of the juices are contained. I guess you can cook chicken breast this way too.

Yup. Sure can. And if you're smart, go ahead and put your marinade and or spices in the bag before you vacuum seal them.

We need to rename this thread “my first 3000 mg cycle” ….and see what we can come up with

[GymHero]

300 mg/week isn’t going to do much. I would maybe start at 300 mg/week and then bump the dose up each week until about 700 mg/week after a few weeks. There’s no exact science, none of this is the right or wrong way because it’s all wrong at the end of the day.

However, make sure you take HCG during the entire cycle at about 700 units a week. Inject it the day before you inject test. So twice a week. This will help you recover more than any PCT. You probably won’t even need pct… and pct doesn’t do shit anyway imo. You have to go through the lull after a cycle, one say or another, but I’d rather have my balls be functioning during the cycle rather than shut them off and try to restart them with pct.

Terrible advice. Do not do this. Read up on some stickies they are full of info and will answer all of your questions.

Just to make conversation here, why would say this is "Terrible advice?" A 300mg test cycle per week isn't going to do much (certainly isn't worth shutting your body down for). It's barely even more than some people's TRT doses.

Mind you, I don't agree with the titrating up and I haven't done a PCT since I started TRT. I just want to see your opinion of why you think what you think. Informed discussions about topics bring progress. What the general consensus was about cycling 10 years ago has changed drastically since then. That only happens if there is discussion and research.
